#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUSAN WIGGS INVITES YOU TO AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS IN THE CATSKILLS A single father who yearns to be a family man, Logan O'Donnell is determined to create the perfect Christmas for his son, Charlie. The entire O'Donnell clan arrives to spend the holidays in Avalon, a postcard-pretty town on the shores of Willow Lake, a place for the family to reconnect and rediscover the special gifts of the season. One of the guests is a newcomer to Willow Lake—Darcy Fitzgerald. Sharp-witted, independent and intent on guarding her heart, she's the last person Logan can see himself falling for. And Darcy is convinced that a relationship is the last thing she needs this Christmas. Yet between the snowy silence of the winter woods and the toasty moments by a crackling fire, their two lonely hearts collide. The magic of the season brings them each a gift neither ever expected—a love to last a lifetime.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen...but do you recall the story of Candlelight, the greatest and most important star in all the skies? Assigned as the star to watch over the town of Bethlehem, Candlelight the star doesn’t see many reasons to shine brightly. His town is dull and quiet, with not much going on. But Candlelight is about to find out just how special his little town actually is when an angel of God comes to him and tells him he must shine the brightest he ever has, as God is sending his Son Jesus, who will be born in Bethlehem to save his people. Candlelight’s Christmas is a wonderful Christmas story that reminds us that God gives all of us special skills—and that we, too, should always shine our brightest. About the Author Thomas A.
